Jun Hee Lee grew up in South Korea and earned his Ph.D. from the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST). After postdoctoral training at the University of California, San Diego, he joined the University of Michigan, where he is now a Professor of Molecular and Integrative Physiology. Beyond his scientific work, Lee has a lifelong interest in history, religion, and philosophy. He enjoys exploring how science and faith, reason and imagination, have shaped the way people understand the world. His recent writing brings these interests together—especially through retelling the history, songs, and stories of Korea for readers of all ages. Through both research and reflection—and through storytelling—Lee seeks to connect ideas across disciplines and generations, finding meaning in the shared human search for truth and wonder.
